Barrios Unidos is a California Latino Youth organization that attempts
to give young cholos an alternative to gang life.
And we finally got some hermanas en las universidades so have a look at Si
gma Lambda Upsilon, Sen~oritas Latinas Unidas Sorority, Inc.
Lots of people have been mailing me looking for any and all information
regarding on line research regarding Latinos/Hispanics and
Technology/Cyberspace. To that End I will begin compiling a list of this
type of information as I come across it. So far I've gotten
A bilingual education resource list put out by La Estrellita, a program
that teaches Spanish to Spanish speakers at
http://www.estrellita.com/~karenm/bil.html
The Alliance for Public Technology, while not directly "latino" is
concerned that "universal access" to technology means only people who can
afford it will actually have access. They keep tabs on legislation to
bridge that gap at http://apt.org/apt/index.html
Kevin Lee Thomason, J.D. has written a paper titled "The Binary Split: Race
and Technology at the End of the 20th Century" which address firstly how
there is a chasm between ethnicities, and secondly what effects technology
will have on this rift.
"Latinos and the Info Super Highway" is a paper by Anne Larson and Anthony
Wilhelm that address exactly what the tile suggests and can be perused at
http://www.cgs.edu/inst/trc_super1.html
If in your research you need to use terms that really don't exist, you
might have a look at fellow Longhorn (dios mio we keep busy out here)
Yolanda Rivas' Computer Spanglish diccionario at
http://www.actlab.utexas.edu/~seagull/spanglist.html
and dont pass up here home page at
http://www.actlab.utexas.edu/~seagull/index.html cuz she has other research
interests that we might could help her with.
So, Link 'em if you got em.
Odd. I've been getting Hispanic magazine for free (2 issues). I called
their subscriptions dept and they said I was listed as "Complimentary".
Wonder where the compliment is.
